Best thing
Good money for young workers as rate of pay is based on position not age. Can be easy to negotiate a contract that works around college/uni if you’re a student
Worst thing
If you work lates (10pm finish) managers will often try to make you stay late to tidy up the warehouse even if it’s got nothing to do with your department
Unhygienic
Managers often treat younger workers with disrespect
Unrealistic goals
Many managers don’t listen to what their team feeds back
Managers frequently assuming younger workers are just chatting. No effort is made to find out what the “chat” is about
Mental wellbeing is completely disregarded despite “good wellbeing” posters being plastered everywhere
Not a lot of career progression opportunities
Usually a lack of hours
Managers are slow to respond to college inquiries/requests

Best thing
Good benefits. Overall hard working team. Clear objectives from upper management, management take time to coach on how to develop and improve.
Worst thing
Sometimes, but not always, fluctuating shift patterns lead to concerns regarding sleeping pattern and not getting enough sleep going from late to early shifts.

Best thing
The customers make me happy at working in tesco and the discount cab be great.
Worst thing
One of my shift leaders are not professional , my manager isn't the greatest on how she talks to us. When one person is sick she doesn't seem professional about it and talks behind your back with other team members which is disrespectful. Lack of security shoplifters get away with a lot. Manger doesn't do anything about it other than she only sorts it when she is on shift doesn't care when she's not on shift , makes me feel real unsafe working for tesco.

As a driver there’s no Manager wondering where you or what you’re doing. You’re protected by panic alarms, etc
As long as you deliver and bring the van back in one piece, they will leave you alone

The customers and working so close to uni.
Worst thing
Tescos does not help uni students with shifts that fit in with there uni timetable. It is a very physical job and they treat you like robots. I never usually get my break

Best thing
Going out on the road delivering to customers, not having a manager telling you the best route to take or looking over your shoulder. There is somewhat freedom in my job.
Worst thing
My manager doesn’t take the time to get to know delivery drivers in person and get trained up on the same things as we do and I find it. Quite frustrating.
